Purpose of the study: farmers are ageing around the word and agrarian rural
areas are changing rapidly in the current era. In this context farming is changing
in different ways and we don’t really know how the agrarian sector will evolve in
the future. This new rural context is also accompanied with new agrarian and
rural policies. The main aim of the research is to know how the new generation
of young farmers will perform in the next few years. This project is running as a
comparative exploration between Southern Ontario (Canada) and Girona (Spain).
1. Do you perceive rural areas are changing? How do you describe the change?
2. In this frame, do you think policies are changing? Are these policies linked to
the necessities of young farmers?
3. Do you think young farmer’ attitude is different from their parents? Why?
What variable do you think can influence in young farmers’ attitude?
4. Which barriers do you think are stronger to enter into the agrarian sector for
young farmers?
5. What do you think are the stronger opportunities for young farmers in the
future?
6. How do you visualize the future of agrarian sector and rural areas?
